This is pretty obviously trolling for people to flip out and swear at him so he can go back to Musk Pravda with screenshots demonstrating that Bluesky is a hysterical mob. Just block and channel your attention somewhere more interesting.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Republicans are attempting to ram through a provision to sell millions in acres in CA, including land around Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe & Big Sur, as part of their big ugly bill. Our federal public treasures shouldn't be sold off to the highest bidder. I will fight this, tooth & nail.

When people learn how the Republican budget bill would take from the poor to give to the rich—a reverse Robin Hood—they’re overwhelmingly against it. But too many people haven’t heard about it. Start a conversation with your friends and neighbors today! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

So far, deportations haven't dramatically spiked under Trump, writes @alibreland.bsky.social. But the administration’s immigration tactics are so shocking, callous, and inescapable that they have generated the appearance of mass deportations.

@bradlander.bsky.social has been regularly doing accompaniments and volunteering as a legal observer. ICE clearly singled him out to punish him for bringing attention to what they are doing. This is political persecution.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

jfc Lander, as he's being cuffed: "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens. You don't have the — I'm not obstructing; I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. [...] You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant."

Trump was just at the G-7 claiming he signed a deal between the US and the UK, thinking they were still part of the EU. Then he dropped the paper on live TV so everyone could see he signed a blank sheet of paper. But sure, Jake. Biden age = Bush falsely claiming Iraq had WMDs.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Has @kuer.org, ‪@sltrib.com‬ or any other Utah media outlet reported how Sen. Mike Lee is pretending that a right-wing Trump-voting anti-abortion activist who targeted Democrats is somehow a "Marxist"? Public officials are being assassinated and Utah's shameless senator is pouring gas on the fire.

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.
